1963 Jaguar Other

3.8 6 cylinder

Clear

This is a great project or parts car - 63 Jaguar Mark X. I bought it from a long time owner who kept it in a barn and drove it around the farm occasionally. The body is solid and the car runs and lot drives, but it was last registered and road-driven in 2007. The car starts right up and appears to have a strong motor. I replaced one carb float and cleaned the carbs. Fuel tanks are clean and its running off an underhood mounted electric pump. Engine has the original triple carb setup and gold 9:1 head. Radiator holds pressure and motor stays cool. Brakes work - barely, and the power steering works fine. Tires are fair but old. Trans feels good but leaks some fluid when parked for extended periods.Engine idles high because of a vacuum leak in the enrichment solenoid - the strap that holds it to the manifold fell off and its loose. Interior is fair - original leather is stiff and torn on drivers side. There are a few mouse nests under the seats but it still smells like old jag leather. Odometer shows 84k miles, temp gauge works intermittently, amp gauge works, oil pressure gauge reads 30 psi warm. Some of the electrics don't work - heater fans, fuel gauge, tank switches, etc. Interior lights and headlights work. AC unit is complete with compressor, vents and controls but is untested. The passenger front door skin is rusted through, and that's the worst spot on the body. I have a spare door that can go with the car, and the rear bumper is included. The fouth hubcap and trim ring is in the trunk. Floor pans are solid with a small hole below the accelerator pedal, and a little rust on the passenger front floor. Jack points, trunk, rear floor seem very clean. Quarters have some bubbling at the edges. There's no obvious bondo or repairs aside from some paintwork on the right fender.
